Data Scientist

Lead end-to-end development of GenAI/ML models: problem framing, data preparation, model selection, training, evaluation, and iteration.

Architect and implement microservice-based AI solutions and deploy them in containerized environments (preferably GKE); define APIs and data contracts.

Incorporate and operationalize defined ML pipelines with MLOps practices: model versioning, feature stores, experiment tracking, CI/CD for ML, monitoring, and rollback strategies.

Leverage Google Cloud Platform offerings (Vertex AI, BigQuery, Dataflow, Cloud Storage, Pub/Sub, Cloud Run, GKE, etc.) to design scalable AI solutions and efficient data workflows.

Knowledge of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) concepts and processes

Proficiency with Google Cloud Platform (Google Cloud Platform) and its AI/ML offerings (e.g., Vertex AI, BigQuery, Dataflow, Cloud Storage, GKE).

Deploy, monitor, and maintain models in production; implement observability (logs, metrics, tracing), cost optimization, and performance tuning.

Collaborate with cross-functional teams (data engineers, software engineers, product, regulatory/compliance, analytics) to translate business needs into robust ML solutions.

Uphold SDLC standards: requirements gathering, design, development, testing, deployment, maintenance, and documentation; promote reusable patterns and best practices.

Mentor and guide junior scientists; contribute to code reviews, standards, and knowledge sharing.

Stay current with GenAI advancements and evaluate new tools/approaches; produce reproducible experiments and artifacts.

We are seeking a seasoned Senior Data Scientist with overall 10-12 yrs and at least 5-7 years of hands-on experience in developing GenAI/machine learning models and deploying them in a cloud environment, preferably on Google Cloud Platform (Google Cloud Platform). The ideal candidate will design microservice-based solutions, containerize deployments (e.g., GKE), and drive end-to-end SDLC practices. Experience in the pharma domain is a strong advantage., Overall 10-12yrs and Minimum 5-7 years of hands-on experience developing GenAI/ML models and deploying them in a cloud environment.

Must have experience working with any agentic framework Knowledge of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) concepts and processes

Strong software engineering skills: Python (primary), experience with ML frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikit-learn), and API development (REST/GraphQL).

Experience designing and deploying microservices architectures and containerized solutions (Docker, Kubernetes; preference for GKE).

Solid experience in MLOps: model versioning, experiments, automated training, feature stores, model registries, monitoring, and governance.

Data processing and analytics expertise: SQL, data pipelines, ETL/ELT concepts, data quality, and data visualization support.

Excellent problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills; ability to work with cross-disciplinary teams.

Understanding of cloud security concepts, IAM, and basic principles of data privacy and compliance.

Demonstrated ability to translate business problems into scalable ML solutions and to communicate technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience in the pharmaceutical/pharma domain or regulated industries; familiarity with GxP, or similar data governance requirements.

Exposure to other cloud providers (AWS/Azure) is a plus, but a strong preference for Google Cloud Platform.

Experience with distributed training, large-scale data processing, and fine-tuning of large language models.

Knowledge of privacy-preserving ML methods (differential privacy, synthetic data) and data lineage tools.
